Demonstrating its strong commitment to
industrial safety and risk preparedness, Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited (NINL)
conducted a full-scale on-site emergency mock drill at its Kalinganagar Plant,
simulating a realistic fire emergency scenario at the Tar Storage Area of the
Coal Plant and By-Product Plant (BPP). The exercise underscored the company’s
proactive approach to strengthening safety mechanisms and ensuring swift,
coordinated responses to potential industrial hazards.
Organised under the guidance and
supervision of Ganeshwar Mardi, Assistant Director of Factories & Boilers,
Jajpur Zone, the mock drill witnessed active participation from the State Fire
Department along with internal safety teams. The operation was tactically led
by Suresh Kumar Jena, Fire Incharge, Dangadhi, whose expertise ensured
effective deployment of response strategies and adherence to established safety
protocols.
The drill aimed at comprehensively
assessing the plant’s preparedness to manage high-risk emergency situations
while evaluating response time, functionality of firefighting equipment, and
efficiency of communication systems. The simulated emergency provided an
opportunity to fine-tune coordination between internal teams and external
emergency responders, thereby enhancing operational resilience.
Through such rigorous safety
exercises, NINL continues to foster a culture of vigilance, preparedness and
operational excellence. The initiative reflects the organisation’s unwavering
dedication to safeguarding employees, protecting industrial assets, and
maintaining high safety standards within the Kalinganagar industrial hub.
